June Kathryn Vilmanyi, 86, of Bushkill, passed away peacefully in her home after a long struggle with Alzheimer's.

She was born in Moscow on Jan. 9, 1926, and was the daughter to the late Wayne and Dora Webster Learn. She met her husband, Daniel Vilmanyi, at Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, N.J., where they both worked. June and Dan were married on Oct. 14, 1950. They raised their family of three daughters in Bridgewater, N.J.

June was a member of Pluckemin Presbyterian Church in Pluckemin, N.J., while living there and since has been a member of Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church, Milford Road, East Stroudsburg. She, Dan and their family enjoyed many beautiful years at their summer home on the Delaware River. She moved with Dan to Winona Lakes upon his retirement in 1987.

June loved living in the Pocono Mountains, where she enjoyed bird watching and entertaining her family and friends. She was an outgoing, energetic woman who brought joy to all who knew her. She was the love and light of Dan's life, a devoted wife for 62 years. She will be missed more than words can express.

Preceding her in death, in addition to her parents, is a daughter, Kathy June Vilmanyi.

She is survived by her loving family: her husband, Daniel Vilmanyi of Bushkill; her oldest daughter, Doreen LoCicero and her husband, Robert Perkins, of Miami, Fla.; her youngest daughter, Susan G. Vilmanyi and her husband, Frank Zarb, of Bayside, N.Y.; one grandson, Benjamin Daniel LoCicero of Miami, Fla.; and nieces, nephews and cousins.

A public visitation will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of the service Thursday, Nov. 15, at Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church, 5205 Milford Road, East Stroudsburg.

Funeral services will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at the church, with June's pastor, the Rev. Jeff Brower, officiating. Private cremation will take place at the convenience of the family.

The family is grateful to the Visiting Angels home care providers, who took excellent care of June during the last stages of her life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to VNA Hospice of Monroe County, 501 VNA Road, East Stroudsburg, PA 18301 or Alzheimer's Foundation of America at alzfdn.org.
